January Gym PSA

I. Love. People.

Nope. Not all people. I think we know that. But, in general, I think we’re all in this rat race together, hoping to ignore the fact that it is rat race and make something good out of ti.

So why?

Why do we find ourselves trying to drag others down sometimes? Most of the time when we, ourselves, are at our weakest. When others try to achieve what we have worked so hard to achieve.

Guess what…

You’ll never be as inspiration as a goddamn calendar.

Have you every thought of that?

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET!

As I drag my ass out of bed these first few mornings of the year… In the cold, later than I wanted, I’m reminded of the drive that ebbs and flows in us all. Instead of getting upset at the busy gym, celebrate how amazing it is that one flick of a calendar page inspired this many people to push themselves harder than the day before.

ONE DAY DIFFERENCE.
ONE NUMBER CHANGE.

And, in droves, people come out to push themselves to be better than the day before.

It’s a strange thing about people. We are wired to want to be together, and yet when we are together, we feel the need to establish who is better or worse. =(Colleen recently posted…A Healthier Me in 2018

I’m lucky in that our YMCA feels like a judgment-free zone. I don’t know if everyone else feels this way or not but I find helpful people every time I’ve needed help. I wish they were all like mine!Dawn Lopez recently posted…DIY Snack Bar: Easy Football Party Food

I love what you’ve written here. It’s so important to realize how our own attitudes can affect others and how often we may bring others down (even unintentionally) because of it.Cyn Gagen recently posted…Menu Plan Monday: January 8, 2018

I love the positive message of his post. Every January people who don’t ordinarily go to the gym, make resolutions to go to the gym…and then they meet the regulars (who have been there for months/years before them) who are often unkind. I’ve witnessed it and it’s horrible. Is it really that hard to be kind to one another? I think not.Jennifer recently posted…“Embrace” 2018

This is really important for so many to hear! I don’t know why our society as a whole (especially the mom community it seems) feels the need to tear others down instead of building each other up.Allison Cooper recently posted…How To Make Busy Boxes For Toddlers
